We get to a certain point in the afternoon when we realize it is time to quite driving and find a place for the night. We were headed to Albuquerque and had to be there by Thursday afternoon. So we drove straight through to Datil Wells, New Mexico. There we found a wonderful campground with all sites available as we were the only ones there! We chose a site and then went for a hike. We found out that it was a camp in the late 1800's and early 1900's for cowboys running sheep and cattle on the Magdalena Stock Driveway. It includes one of 15 former water wells spaced every 10 miles along the Driveway! The old cattle trail stretched 120 miles from Springerville, AZ to Magdalena, NM. We watched a beautiful sunset.
